Critics Consensus

The Magnificent Seven never really lives up to the superlative in its title -- or the classics from which it draws inspiration -- but remains a moderately diverting action thriller on its own merits.

This new take on The Magnificent Seven boasts another A-list cast, but forsakes characters for bloodless, PG-13 action that entertains without resonating.

2/4

As things build toward the long, bloody and by-the-numbers (if ably staged) showdown, it's hard not to mourn for the film this could have been, considering the assemblage of talent.

It's respectful of the past, while it blazes into the future of a genre that is as American as covered wagons.

While I appreciate the attempts for bringing diversity to the Wild West, and love some of the actions scenes, this remake amuses, but mostly misfires.

It’s an action romp, and Denzel and company pull it off nicely.

Opening scene is basically stolen from Django (Quentin Tarantino) which instantly lost my interest as it’s not creative to blatantly use others materials. Seemed to be over acted and tried too hard. Had so much potential and lost credibility in the first scene.

The gun battles are well choreographed. And the inclusion of ethnic men- an Asian man, a First Nations man and a Mexican man is brilliant casting. And a woman gunslinger to boot. Now that is fine. Denzel Chris Pratt Ethan Hawke Vincent D'Onofrio Hot damn, they're perfect mercenaries. And the dénouement is quite brilliant and realistic. Not all of the seven come out unscathed. Big waste of actor Matt Bowman. I would have liked him to have a greater say in the film. The writing is quite brilliant and funny at times. The religion was a bit hard to take as today most of us are secular. Interesting how many of the good guy gunslingers were also non-religious. So. Add it all up and I say enjoy it as I did.

The movie has no real substance, it's just flashy action. The characters are so underdeveloped, unlikeable and badly performed.
